The Christian life is not about a list of do’s and don’ts, but is about God working in our hearts, by His Spirit, to bring us to faith in Jesus Christ. As we continue to live out our faith, God continues to work in our hearts by His Spirit to produce Christ-likeness, or the fruit of the Spirit in our lives.
Today as we look at Galatians 5:13-25, we will see that the fruit of the Spirit is evidence of God’s work in our hearts.

Dear Lord,
We lift these graduates up to You and ask for Your mighty blessings to rain down upon them. Show these young adults success in life and allow them to be respected and appreciated in all that they do. Please allow them to feel the joy of accomplishment after hard work, but also keep them focused on knowing that You are the reason for all successes in life. Please give them courage, unbending faith, strong values, and a generous heart. Please also keep their Christian foundation a part of all decisions made and bless them with bountiful opportunities. We ask these things in Jesus’s name.
Amen.
